NCAP 5★

The Taigun punches above its weight with a 5-star NCAP rating, 148 bhp engine delivering genuine performance, and a practical 385-litre boot. It's a well-rounded compact SUV that balances everyday usability with safety credentials—ideal if you prioritize crash protection and efficiency over cutting-edge tech.

Stands out

  • 5-star NCAP rating with 6 airbags sets class benchmark for safety
  • 148 bhp petrol engine with 250 Nm torque offers spirited driving without turbo lag
  • Genuine 19.98 km/l efficiency makes real-world running costs competitive
  • Ventilated seats and 5 tech features cover practical everyday comfort
  • Sub-₹12 lakh pricing for this feature set represents fair value

!Gives us pause

  • No sunroof limits perceived premium appeal versus rivals
  • Zero ADAS functions—safety relies entirely on passive systems and driver input
  • 385-litre boot is modest for a family SUV on longer trips
  • Single fuel option (petrol only) restricts choice for diverse buyer needs
  • Limited tech features compared to newer segment competitors
